October has seen a surge in wholesale potato prices in Poland, with the market showing signs of reaching record highs due to a combination of low supply and strong demand. The country's 2022 potato harvest is projected to be the smallest since at least 2010, leading to heightened market tension. This situation is further exacerbated by increased demand from importers in Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, and Ukraine. This perfect storm of low supply and high demand is causing concern for the profitability of potato producers amidst rising production and storage costs, indicating a challenging season ahead for Poland's agricultural sector.
